TO ALL WIIOM IT MAY OONCERN:

Beit known that I, JUsTUs A. TRAUT, ot' New Britain, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful improvement in Endless Rubber Polishing Belts; and to enable others skilled in the art to malte and use the same, I will proceed to describe its construction and adaptation for a polishing belt by referring to the drawings, in which- The same letters indicate like parts in each ofthe figures.

First, the nature of this invention consists of an endless rubber and fabric belt made strong, so as to bear the pressure usually brought to bear uponv them; second, the nature of this invention consists in coating said endless rubber and fabric-belt with polishing material, by the use ofany suitable material, as glue, dre., in the usual way of coating leather belts. In the accompanying drawings,

Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing how the belt is constructed, and the coating of polishing material secured thereon.

a is the fabric; c is the rubber coating; d is the polishing material.

The object desired to be attained by this improvement, first, is to produce a continuous true even surface without any butjoints, upon which to secure emery or otherrpelishing material for producing finished surface upon articles held thereon, when in motion; second, to afford greater facility for stripping or cleansing the belt, and for rccoa-ting it again with its polishing material, because, by the use or the employment of this material for a belt, it may with impunity be submerged in warm water to remove the old coating of polishing material, and when taken out, may be wiped dry and immediately recoated with polishing material which (sub merging the belt in warm wat-cr) would be fatal to a leather belt; third, by the use of this. material, protubciw anees, depressions, or mouldings can be formed on the surfaceA of the belt, and said formations coated with polishing material for polishing uneven, irregular surfaces, which en a leather belt is extremely difficult, and particularly when they require to be recoated, because, however careful in soakingof the old coating of polishing material, thebelt will not assume its former perfect shape when dried, and, besides, the joints are very liable te come apart. Now it will be seen that by the combination ofthe endless fabric rubber belt with polishing material coating, the above difficulties are obviated, and I am enabled to produce a new and useful article of manufacture.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A new improved article of manufacture, an endless fabric rubber polishing belt, substantially as described.
